3 best prop bets for Colts vs Ravens in Week 5 Monday Night Game
By Mike Luciano
2. Marquise Brown over 54.5 receiving yards (-125)
Despite all of the additions that this team has made at wide receiver, the diminutive speedster Brown remains the top target for Baltimore. While he has had some big issues with drops over this season, he appeared to wake up with a fantastic game against the Broncos.
Not only is Brown coming off of a three-game stretch in which he totaled 113 yards, 53 yards (a number that was reduced thanks to several drops), and 91 yards, but he’s also going up against a Colts defense that was ripped apart by speedy receivers like Tyler Lockett and Cooper Kupp.
Lamar Jackson's 49-yard TD pass to Marquise Brown traveled 60.8 yards in the air, Jackson's longest completion of his career, and 2nd-longest by any QB this season.

The Colts could have a tough time stopping Marquise Brown.
The Colts are not only thin at cornerback, but they are playing in a defense that lacks the safety talent, at the moment, to properly execute what matt Eberflus wants to do. Brown should get behind this defense at least once or twice in this game, unfortunately.
Even though Jackson might not throw the ball 50 times every game, he managed to put together some big days as a passer by going vertical. That propensity to go for it all in the passing game could help Brown have a big night at the expense of Indianapolis’ defense.
